Hi James, sorry, I should've mentioned that in my previous mail. You can obtain a permanent access-key+secret with the following steps:
(1) Log into https://dev.twitter.com (2) Choose "My Account" -> "My Applications" from the menu (you need to hover over your login-name in the top-right menu bar (3) Create a new application, e.g. "my-pebble-blog", specify a URL... Then you face the "create access token" button, that will allow you to create an access-key + secret for your application. I a sense, pebble will then act like an application that is granted access to your twitter account.
